Black patch on my screen

Hey guys, i just noticed there's a black patch on my screen. Bottom right has bigger patch and its obvious on the grey loading screen or any bright backgrounds. Is it something i should worry about be it dirt or burnt? Im using Macbook White Unibody late 2009 model by the way. Thanks.

Hi..
I too just noticed a spot on the right hand corner of my screen. The spot is as tiny has the tip of a .5mm pen..:P
But yeah, I had a word with the apple store who told it may be a case of pixel damage. I'm taking my mac in next week, you might wanna talk to your local apple store about this..Better safe than sorry i guess..Cheers ..:)

  • Screen Sharing display of Finder app lags & black patches

    I'm trying to share the screen of a headless Mac Mini with a Retina MBP over ethernet (via thunderbolt display and time capsule) using the built in screen sharing app, and my fourth generation iPad over wifi using a VNC app. My problems are as follows:
    - intermittent black patches over the screen which I have drag a window over, or move a mouse over, to make disappear. This only happens on the Retina MBP, and doesn't happen on the iPad. This is considered solved in another thread, but the solution was to update Apple Remote Desktop which I do not have installed.
    - On both Retina MBP and iPad, the outputted display does not update when I make a change in the Finder application. E.g. say I create a new folder. I will not see the folder I have created until I drag the window elsewhere.
    This problem is the same regardless of the display quality (full or adaptive), or the resolution.
    I appreciate any help.

  • Nokia Lumia 720 screen has black patches within on...

    Hi,
    There is a major concern in the case of my Nokia purchase with respect to the below issues
    1) Quality of product
    I bought my Nokia Lumia 720 from an online retailer and in a week, I discovered there is a black area on the screen which became very obvious in the white backgorund (I couldn't notice it earlier because Windows mainscreen uses colored tiles on black background). Please see the picture attached.
    Just in a week ? Or maybe it's a manufacturing defect
    2)  Quality of Customer service level and support
    I reported this immediately to the Nokia Customer care through an email and they asked me to take to the customer care centre. I wrote them stating my concerns and if I can get a replacement. They didn't discuss it and just asked me to visit the Nokia Care.
    Having submitted it at a service centre in Bangalore, India, they were clueless about the issue as it was their first experience with Nokia Lumia 720.
    They concluded that the battery has bulged and they need to further investigate. And they tried to put blame on me assuming I might have put the device in water, over charged it or if I fiddled with the battery
    I've not done any of the above and I told them, for users the battery is not removable
    They argued that it is possible to remove because they could remove. I told them, fine but I haven't
    They informed me they'll update me.
    Only after I enquired two days later (they haven't bothered to contact me), they have sent the device to the headquarters in Delhi and will take 10 days minimum. And I'll have to pay for repair
    Pay for the repair ?
    What I can't take it is they told there would be an amount charged for the repair.
    3) Fairness of treatment / Customer satisfaction
    It's been one week since I purchased the mobile, I'd sent out my first email bringing up this issue. I've paid full money to purchase this. I've already informed that I have not taken my device near water or over charged it or dropped it. It has been a very normal usage.
    I've co-operated in every possible way. And if the device is found damaged in a week, shouldn't it be replaced ?
    I had raised the same concerns via email but I've stopped getting any response from email specialists at nokia care after an initial reply.
    I'm worried because there is a similar description of the issue in the following video and the person got an immediate replacement
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYsK0c-wXvI
    Since I bought it from an online retailer, I had no option but to visit the Nokia Care.
    I'm feeling like a fool as I purchased a Nokia in 2013 much against the popular opinion of getting a Samsung or an Apple.
    Will I get a replacement ?

  • Touchsmart 7320 black patches at bottom of screen

    When PC has been on for a few minutes a dark patch appears at the bottom left towards the middle of the screen. A while later this extends across to the left bottom corner. It clears only if I reboot or change user and go back in. It has been suggested that the LEDs are failing.

  • Imac time machine obscured by black patch

    When I use time machine everything appears to work correctly but most of the screen is obscured by a black patch. I attach a photo (taken with ipad) of the screen. I have tried shutting down and restarting but to no avail. I have no other problems with my imac.

    If you have an external display connected, try disconnecting the external display and then use TM. I have a similar issue when using an HP external display, I was never able to locate a fix other than disconnecting the HP display.

  • An insect got behind the screen of my MacBook and has since died, leaving a black dot on the screen. As this is a sealed unit the insect cannot be removed, any ideas.

    I believe your only option will be to get Apple to replace the screen for you, which won't be cheap.  If the machine is still covered under warranty, you could try to push the case that the screen must be defective for a bug to get in there.  Apple has been known to do free out-of-warranty service in some pretty unbelievable circumstances, that that is at their discretion, so be very pleasant and polite so they'll like you and want to help you out.    But be prepared to have to pay for the repair.
    Good luck!

  • I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15".

    I have a very tiny, fuzzy black speck on the screen of my Macbook Pro 15". It doesn't resemble dead pixels I've encountered in the past (it is only visible behind a white or brightly colored background), and I'm positive it isn't sitting on the surface. The computer is only a year and a half old and my software is up to date.

    Hi austinbread,
    It is hard to tell exactly what your issue with the MacBook Pro’s display is, but it is possible that there is a pixel anomaly. See this article for further information -

  • 9.7 inch to 11.4 inch screen by conversion of black rim into notouch screen and same size nextgen ipad?

    i would like to have a same size ipad (9.7 inch) with a bigger screen (11.4 inch) by turning the black surrounding rim into screen. But, in order to handle it like the black rim notouch, that part of the screen should ALSO be notouch. It would make a nice next generation Ipad with the same physical size.
    Sincerely,
    Maarten UiterwykWinkel.

    I was having this exact same problem, then it just stopped. I am using the nouveau driver and I have a tnt2 card.
    IIRC, I was having an unrelated problem with xorg or udev or something was having problems detecting my monitor, it claimed I had two monitors connected, I wrote an xorg.conf file and that fixed the problem. IDK if its is related or not because I don't recall exactly when things started working when I would switch ttys.
    Try using the nouveau driver and see if it does the same thing, it has a kernel module so it might make difference,

  • I have a black band across my screen is it broken

    I have got a black band across my screen on my I pad don't know how this has come is it an error or something, or is it broken.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    So what do you want us to do? Apple has already told you and there is nothing anyone here can do about your problem as no one here works for Apple.
